Historical Bids Awards Data

5

• Historically, PRHTA has been successful at obligating federal funds and using state funds to implement its capital improvement program (CIP) using a combination of external and internal resources

• The clawback of dedicated tax revenues and PR financial crisis resulted in a reduced CIP between 2013 and 2016. The main reason this occurred was due its inability to procure external support for the implementation of the CIP

• In 2017, the CIP could not be implemented due to Hurricane María

• In 2017, the implementation of the MOA and additional fund allocation to procure external support resulted in record amounts in bid awarded in 2018 and 2019, thus, PRHTA is back on track in terms of implementation of its CIP through and enhanced project delivery process and toward a new record in 2020

Most of the Highway Contractors proved to be aheadin the construction industry in terms of readiness torestart construction projects while assuring allmeasures to avoid COVID spreading are in place.

A survey prepared by the PRHTA helped in providingthe most needed input from the AGC members.

With the input of the Highway Committee, from theAGC, the PRHTA provided guidelines andrecommendations to the Governor for a safe restart ofthe highway construction projects.

The PRHTA’s projects were selected among the firstprojects to restart.
